I don't know...the release notes specifically say:
Although G1 is available for use in this release, note that production use of G1 is only permitted where a Java support contract has been purchased.
On the other hand, I was unable to find any specific mention of G1 anywhere in the licensing agreement. However, I did find this:
Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without license fees to reproduce and use internally Software complete and unmodified for the sole purpose of running Programs.
If anyone is able to point out in the actual licensing where the quote from the release notes is backed up, I'd be interested. (text near the second quote there did allow for "exceptions" and "supplemental terms" - but I wasn't able to find any pertaining to G1)
